ISO 132
Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic -- Determination of flex cracking and crack growth (De Mattia)


ISO 132 establishes the method for measuring hardness in elastomeric materials using a durometer instrument. This standard applies to vulcanized rubbers, thermoplastic elastomers, and various elastomeric compounds across multiple hardness scales, including Shore A and Shore D. The measurement principle involves penetrating a standardized indenter into the material surface and recording penetration depth as the hardness value. Essential for quality control and material characterization, this test ensures elastomeric products meet the technical specifications required for industrial applications.
